Essentially, InvisionFree is a free hosted version of IPB 1.3, although there are lots of underlying changes. There are some features that are missing from IPB, and some features that do not exist in IPB 1.3. With IPB, you have to have hosting and upload all the files yourself and install the board yourself. All maintenence must be done by you. With InvisionFree, we do all that for you so you can focus on making a great forum

IPB is a lot nicer to work with but more complicated to set up than IF. Some versions of IPB you need your own host etc. to use. |

Yeah, I prefer IF. Much quicker to set up. Admin stuff is easier to get used to too. Hey, hen, love the signature

With IPB you can add patches to secure it more though. IF you can't. :/ InvisionFree will always be free no matter when the name changes. Even though the name is gonna change I will always still refer to it as invisionFree. I just thought of something invisionFree = invisionFee

We do our own security upgrades so you don't have to. That is the point of InvisionFree. We do the hassle so you can concentrate on making a great board. |

Beacuse lots of people do not know how to create and set up a mySQL database or how to transfer the files from their computer to the server using FTP. |

Using InvisionFree all you have to do is click that trendy Register button on the main website page and fill out the information, IPB is just 20 more complicated steps that take up time, not to mention payments. :rolleyes: |
